Madden NFL 15: The Defense Strikes Back
Madden NFL 15 is the latest installment in EA Sports’ long-running Madden NFL series. The game was released on August 26, 2014, for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Madden NFL 15 features a number of new features and improvements, including a new tackling system, improved coverage logic, and a new mode called Gauntlet. The game also includes updated rosters and uniforms for all 32 NFL teams.
New Tackling System
The new tackling system in Madden NFL 15 is designed to be more intuitive and realistic. Players now have more control over their tackles, and can choose to wrap up ball carriers, strip the ball, or go for a big hit. The new tackling system also makes it more difficult to break tackles, which makes defense more challenging and rewarding.
Improved Coverage Logic
The coverage logic in Madden NFL 15 has also been improved. Defensive backs are now more aware of their surroundings and are better at anticipating routes. This makes it more difficult for quarterbacks to complete passes, and forces them to be more careful with their throws.
Gauntlet Mode
Gauntlet mode is a new mode in Madden NFL 15 that challenges players to complete a series of increasingly difficult defensive challenges. Players must tackle ball carriers, intercept passes, and force fumbles in order to progress through the mode. Gauntlet mode is a great way to improve your defensive skills and learn how to play defense more effectively.
Other New Features
In addition to the new tackling system, improved coverage logic, and Gauntlet mode, Madden NFL 15 also includes a number of other new features, including:
- Player Physics: Players now have more realistic physics, which makes them more difficult to tackle and more likely to fumble the ball.
- Improved AI: The AI in Madden NFL 15 has been improved, and now makes more intelligent decisions on both offense and defense.
- Updated Rosters and Uniforms: Madden NFL 15 includes updated rosters and uniforms for all 32 NFL teams.
Overall
Madden NFL 15 is a solid football game with a number of new features and improvements. The new tackling system, improved coverage logic, and Gauntlet mode all add to the game’s depth and challenge. Madden NFL 15 is a great choice for fans of football video games, and is sure to provide hours of enjoyment.
